der, shall be issued directly TO the peo-
pie, without the Intervention Of banks, or
loaned to citizens upon ample security at
low rate of interest to relieve them from
the extortions of usury and enable them
TO control the money supply. Postal saw
ings banks should be established. While
we have free coinage Of gold, We should
have free coinage Of silver. We demand
the prompt payment of the national debt,
and condemn the further issue of interest
bearing bonds, either by the national gov
eminent, or by states, territories, counties
or municipalities.
4. Decentralization should take the
place OF strikes and other injurious meth
ods Of settling labor disputes; the letting of
convict labor to contractors be prohibited;
the contract system be abolished in pub
lie works; the hours of labor in industrial
establishments be reduced commensurate
with the increase of production in labor
saving machinery; employees to be pro-
tected from bodily injury; equal pay be-
ing given for equal work for both sexes,
and labor, agricultural and cooperative
associations be favored and incorporated
by law. The foundation of republic is
the intelligence of its citizens, and chill
dren who are driven into workshops,
mines and factories are deprived of edu-
cation which should be secured by proper
legislation. We desire to see labor organ
izations extend throughout all civilized
countries, until it shall be impossible for
despots to array the workingmen of one
country in war against their brothers of
another country.
5. Soldiers and Sailors-In apprecia-
tion of the services of United States sol
diers and sailors we demand for them JUS
tice before charity. The purposely de-
preciated money paid them during the
war should be made equal in value to the
gold paid the bondholder. The soldier
was promised gold or its equivalent and
was paid in deprecated paper. The bond
holder loaned the government deprecated
paper and contracted to take it back, but
was paid in gold.
6. Income Taxa graduated income
is the most equitable system of taxation,
placing the burden of government on
those who can best afford to pay, instead
of laying it on the farmers and producers,
and exempting millionaire bondholders
and corporations.
Z. United States Senate-The capture
of the United States senate by million
aires and and tools of corporations who
have no sympathy with free institutions,
threatens the very existence of the repub
lie. We demand a constitutional amend
ment making United States senators elect
i've by direct vote OF the people.
8. Chinese-State and national laws
should be such as shall effectually exclude
from America the Mongolian slaves and
Asiatic competition.
8. Armed Men-The employment of
bodies of armed men by private corpora
tions should be prohibited.
10. Eqality-The right to vote is in
herent in citizenship irrespective of sex.
IL. Temperance-Excessive wealth, re-
sulting in luxury and idleness on the one
hand and excessive poverty on the other,
lead to intemperance and vice. The
measures of reform here demanded will
prove to be the scientific solution of the
temperance question.

The Delegates of the Trade and Labor
Organizations OF New York in conference
assembled pake this declaration:
|. Holding that the corruptions of
government and the impoverishment of
labor result from neglect of the self-evi-
dent truths proclaimed by the founders of
this Republic that all men are created
equal and are endowed by their Creator
with unalienable rights, we aim at the
abolition Of the system which compels
men to pay their fellow.creatures for the
use Of Gods gifts to all, and permits mo.
nopolizers to deprive labor Of natural op.
portunties for employment, thus filling
the land with tramps and paupers and
bringing about an unnatural competi.
tion which tends to reduce wages to star
vation rates and 10 make the wealth pro-
duccr the industrial slave of those who
grow rich by his toll
IL. Holding, moreover, that the advan-
tages arising from social growth and inn
proyoment belong 20 society at large, we
aim NJ the abolition of the system which
makes such beneficent inventions as the
railroad and telegraph means for the
oppression " the people and the aggran-
dizement of an arisiocracy of wealth and
power. We declare the true purpose of
government to be the maintenance of
that sacred right of property which gives
To every one opportunity to employ his
labor and security that he shall enjoy its

SPECIALISTS

SPECIALISTS.
We offer no apology for devoting so much
time and attention to this much neglected
class of diseases. believing that no condition
of humanity is too wretched to merit the
sympathy and best services of the profession
to which we belong, as many are innocent
sufferers, and that the physician who de-
votes himself to relieving the afflicted and
saving them from worse than death, Is no
less philanthrOpist and q benefactOr to his
race than the surgeon or physician who, by
close application, excels In any other branch
OF his profession.
YOUNG MEN
Who may be suffering from the effects of
youthful fOllies or indiscretiOns will do well
to avail themselves Of this the greatest boon
ever laid at the feet of suffering humanity.
Dr. Wagner will agree to forfeit $500 for
every case OF seminal weakness or private
disease of any kind and character which he
undertakes to and fails to cure.
MlDDLE-AcED MEN.
There are many at the age of 80 to go who
are troubled with too frequent excavations
OF the bladder, often accompanied by a
slight smarting or burning sensation and a
weakening of the system the patient c.nnOt
account for. On examining the uriD ry de-
posits ropy sediment will often be found,
and sometimes small particles of ibumen
will appear, or the color will be of a thin
milkisf hue, again changing into dark and
turbid appearance. There are many men
who die of this difficulty, ignorant of the
cause. Dr. Wagner will guarantee cure in
all such cases and healthy restoration of
the genito urinary organs.
